Artichoke nutrition facts. Artichoke is one of the popular winter months edible flower bud of Mediterranean origin. Known as Ankinara in Greek, its use as a vegetable is well known to the ancient Greeks and Romans who advocated it for its medicinal and health benefiting qualities.
An artichoke plant, which can spread into a silvery green fountain up to 6 feet across, makes a bold, handsome addition to any garden. Best of all, perhaps, this gem of a vegetable can be grown much more easily and in a wider range of climates than you might expect. I remember having dinner at a friendâs home and seeing an artichoke on my plate for the first time. I wondered how I was going to eat this intriguing vegetable.
